It's good idea to document these assumptions as WARN_ON's. In i915, if
the value is completely internal to kernel, we're using GEM_BUG_ON for
these so that our CI will notice breakage. If it's not a driver
internal value only, a WARN_ON is the appropriate action.
Otherwise the information is lost and the next person reading the code
will have the same question in mind.
